I saw a thread in this subforum a couple of weeks ago with some users discussing how Trudeau's decision to bring in 25,000 refugees would affect the timelines for inland sponsorship applications. Is there really any truth to this? I just saw this article at CBC which mentions a dedicated...

I completed and signed IMM1344 while I was with my wife. Later when I returned to Canada, I found a mistake on the form, so I corrected that and reprinted all the pages except for the signature page. Now I've noticed that there's a number on the bottom right corner of the page which changes...

My wife just completed her medical/eMedical and got back an information sheet which I'll need to include with the sponsorship application as confirmation of her medical check. Does she need to send me the original sheet or is it fine if I attach a scanned copy instead?

Adobe Acrobat allows signing documents electronically, and it'd be a lot easier for my wife (i.e. the applicant) to sign her documents that way and then simply email them to me. Has anyone ever done this before? I'm wondering whether or not CIC allows this. It would suck to have them send the...

My wife is a university student and is filling out the personal history section. She has been studying at the same university since age 18 and has not traveled or worked anywhere during that time (not even during her summer breaks). Does she need to list each summer vacation in her personal...

Honestly, form 3907E for Pakistan has be the most poorly written form out of all the forms that are part of the sponsorship package. Not only are some of the questions ambiguous, but there's also weird pointless questions in there that only God knows why they're asking. My rant aside, here's...

I'm sponsoring my Pakistani wife, and page four of this document (3907E) says the following: Does this mean that I, the sponsor, also need to include my birth certificate since I'm her husband? My second question is regarding the national ID card. Does my wife only need to send me a scan of...

For those that have submitted their sponsorship apps in December, did you experience any delays due to Christmas time? I've dealt with the govt for other things and they always seem to put everything on hold during that time...

My wife is in her final year of uni, so she doesn't quite have her degree yet, but she can get a transcript showing all the courses she's taken. When they ask for her educational documents, is it fine if we just include the university transcript, or will they want her report cards from college...

I had a proper Pakistani wedding that was spread over three days with a lot of guests attending, and as a result, I've got nearly 400 photos. I've managed to slim it down to around 200 by excluding any redundant photos with too few guests visible in them. I was told by a friend that I'll need to...

My wife lives in Pakistan and the postal service there isn't that great. I'm concerned that if the CIC needs to reach out to her concerning her application, it'll take a long time to get to her which will create delays. There's also the possibility the mail might get lost while in transit. Does...

I've read about how the Rukhsati is vital in order for a marriage to be considered genuine by the CIC, but I don't quite understand what it really is and what kind of photographic proof I'll need in order to prove that I've actually done it. Do I just need to take a couple of pics of my wife...

My fiancee and I will not have time to go for a proper honeymoon after we get married, especially since I've started a new job and barely have enough vacation days to cover my visit to Pakistan. We're both fine with postponing the honeymoon until the spring/summer of next year, but I don't know...

I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my spouse in Pakistan. She's going to be doing her upfront medical check soon, and I've been told by a friend of mine that I (the sponsor) need to be with her when she's requesting the medical check. Is there any truth to this? If so, why do I need to be there...

So does anyone have clue as to what each party's stance is on immigration (specifically family class sponsorship)? I know that NDP and Liberals are talking about wanting to speed up sponsorship of parents/grandparents, but I haven't heard anything about what the Conservatives are planning on...

My family is well acquainted with the MP in our area, and my father suggested that it might be a good idea to get a letter of endorsement from him and send it along with my spousal sponsorship application. He knows me personally and can vouch for my character, and he also knows that my marriage...

This is for a spousal sponsorship. The guide keeps mentioning "your family", but what does that mean in the case of spousal sponsorship? If my wife is the one being sponsored, do her parents and siblings all have to fill out copies of this form? Or perhaps they only need my wife and I to fill...

Is it possible to have a spouse come over on a visitor visa while the sponsorship application is still being processed? I'm going to submit the application some time around November, but my spouse wanted to visit during the spring/summer months. There's no guarantee that the application will...

The document checklist says that the sponsor needs a medical condition statement "if a dependent child included in the application is your adopted son or daughter". From what I understand, they're saying that a medical condition statement is needed if we're including dependent children in our...

We'll have tons of photos and video of all the events associated with the wedding, and this is what we intended to use as proof of our relationship. This is an arranged marriage and there are no call logs, instant messages, etc before the wedding. I'm a Canadian citizen, and my spouse is the...
